Trisomy 21, as illustrated by the karyotype, is caused by nondisjunction. This occurs when chromosomes do not separate properly during meiosis.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, nondisjunction.

Explanation:

Trisomy 21, also called Down syndrome is a result of the error in the cell division known as nondisjunction. It leaves an egg or sperm cell with an additional copy of chromosome 21 prior to or after conception.  

The phenomenon of nondisjunction can take place during anaphase of meiosis or mitosis. At the time of anaphase, the homologous chromosomes or the sister chromatids get separate and move to the contrary poles of the cell, with the help of microtubules. However, in nondisjunction, this separation does not take place.

Why is DNA replication important?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

well with out it we won't understand dna

but heres the scientific answer

Explanation:

DNA replication allows for organisms to be reproduced from the parent.

After a sperm (from male) and egg (from female) cell have combined, they immediately start to divide. At this point, the cell is called a zygote.

In order for the cells to divide, they need DNA from the mother. They don't steal it. They just replicate it. For a cell to use DNA, it needs to be in the form of a chromosome, a tightly-packed DNA structure

DNA replication allows for organisms to be reproduced from the parent.
